Exposing Southampton’s mistake that will cost them relegation
Opta supercomputer stat alarms Southampton FC trail much behind in Premier League points than expected.
Predictions and expectations have been a part of the Premier League for quite a long time. While initially it was pundit-centric, the intervention of AI models has grown quickly into the space.
For Southampton, what is further grueling is that no other club hosts such a negative difference. Surprisingly, clubs like Ipswich and Leicester have stroked huge similarity between expected and actual points, stretching the gap between them and the Saints.
Though each department is responsible for this, Southampton’s toothless attack force has been the prime culprit. In comparison, they have better xG than most relegation clubs but have the least goals scored.
And to be honest, it isn’t all that shocking when your leading scorer stops playing. Furthermore, Southampton’s situation has gotten worse due to the injury to Tyler Dibling, the team’s second-leading scorer.
There is still hope for the upcoming season, though. Gronbaek, who could be the missing component for Ivan Juric’s team, was just acquired by the Saints in an intriguing deal.
Further, with Tyler Dibling continuing his way through the recuperation, things can improve soon.
Hopefully, today will be the first step against Newcastle.
